How Netanyahu’s plan to occupy Gaza is bringing the Israeli army to its knees

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly pushing for a full occupation of the Gaza Strip, a plan that has created a major rift with his own military's top command. The army's chief of staff and former security leaders strongly oppose the move, arguing that Israel has little left to gain militarily and that such an action would endanger the remaining captives. This potential escalation also runs counter to public opinion, as a large majority of Israelis favor a deal to end the war in exchange for the captives' release. Growing opposition is further fueled by the war's perceived futility and an increasing acknowledgment within Israel of potential war crimes being committed in Gaza.
